What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XCELL” is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is 79 South China Import Inc., a corporation organized in New York. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering shoes as clothing goods, with first use in commerce on December 1, 2006. A similar name used for shoes or related apparel would raise the closest concern because the record’s goods are specifically shoes. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, but the record does not eliminate the possibility of other rights or future claims. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on March 21, 2008. If you are thinking of a similar name for shoes, this history suggests a moderate risk of confusion with the abandoned mark.
